USS Sharikahr NCC-81204 - Stardate 10703.29

We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz! Or in the case of the valiant Senior Staff of the USS Sharikahr… they are off to see the King and Queen of Faritopia! What is all of this? A King and Queen of a land full of magic and mystery? How did all of this happen? The answer to this question is even difficult for the crew to answer.  Once Captain Adrel joined the Sharikahr as her Commanding Officer, things began to take a turn for the worse. Lieutenant Sot'soh's son Sha found voodoo dolls magically appear within his Quarters. These dolls resembled the each member of the Senior Staff. They were actually rather good replicas.  However, it was later discovered that these dolls were alive! One of these magical dolls began to play around with the crew… until the crew found themselves in the magical land of Faritopia! Of course, the land did not look magical at first sight. The crew actually found themselves in a cave where they were met by the fairy princess Blu and guard.

Commander Stidd identified Captain Adrel as the Queen of the Sharikahr Guild. Eventually, Blu learned that the Sharikahr Guild was an ally. Because of this, she decided to bring them to her home in order for the Sharikahr Guild to meet the King and Queen.  Meeting the King and Queen sounded like an easy task, didn't it? Well… when the crew entered the magical hidden kingdom they only saw one thing: a cave. Blu realized that the crew was not magical. In order to rectify this situation, she transformed them into magical creatures! A Dwarf, Werewolf, Fairy, and Vampire!  The crew found themselves in awe and wonder. They now had new abilities and impulses to either submit to or overcome. These urges were rather difficult, and even the Captain began to submit. After having met a talking rat, the crew found themselves inside of the castle where the King and Queen were said to reside.

On top of all of this, the Captain was on the floor looking up at a beautiful jewel. The words of a voice of power spoke to the crew: "Very good... That is one way..."  Who was this strange voice? Would the crew be able to meet the King and Queen so they could get out of this mess? Would the Vampire now have the urge to suck the blood of one of her crewmates?

<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::turns around trying to identify the source of the voice::

ACTION: The crew begins to hear a rather wicked, high pitched laugh as the Dwarf Captain stares at the jewel before her. The laugh continues to intensify until it turns into a loud shriek.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Getting up and dusting himself off as he looks at the CO rather pensively::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::sniffs the air, trying to scent out the culprit::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Instinctively lifts her hands to her ears, cringing.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::shudders in pain:: CO: It's Murphy

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::puts her hands on her ears as she looks at the jewel::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Fights to keep a watch of the CO but the noise is too much::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Murphy? Refresh my memory.

ACTION: The loud shrieking continues as a cloud of dark black and purple smoke begins to form around the jewel.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Elizabeth Murphy, the terrorist turned Q who got us into this.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::howls in pain::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Oh yeah... now I remember. ::looks around to see how her crew is doing::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Concentrates a moment to 'turn down' the sound.  She then lowers her hands and stills, watching.::

Cory is now known as Elizabeth Murphy.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Attempts to advance towards the jewel to protect the CO::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Reaches out toward the Stidd::  CEO: Be careful.

ACTION: The cloud of smoke begins to dissipate. The form of Elizabeth Murphy can be made out from within its mist, floating in mid air on a rather beautifully jeweled broomstick.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::blinks a few times:: ALL: Everyone okay?

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::rolls her eyes:: CO: My ears hurt and her lame theatrics are getting irritating.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Shakes her head at the sight. It was so... cheesy.::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
::She stops her loud piercing shrieks and turns an evil smirk on the crew:: ALL: Good day my pretties! You have stepped straight into my trap!

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a hand to her forehead.::  Please...

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::just looks at her:: Murphy: What the Q Continuum couldn't afford acting lessons.

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CSO: Do you doubt my powers my pretty? ::She raises her hand toward Sin, causing her fangs to begin to elongate greatly::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Watches her closely waiting for a moment where he can spring on her and catch her off guard::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: Your trap? Where else could we go? You lead us here.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Raises an eyebrow::  Murphy: The only thing I doubt is as the counselor said...

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
All: You have played my game to much satisfaction! ::She begins to shriek again:: All: But your task has not yet been complete!

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::cringes again::

ACTION: As the Chief Science Officer's fangs grow, they reach the floor of the castle and get stuck in between the cracks of the stone.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Considers a moment, then reaches to pull one out.::

ACTION: As Sin tries to pull out her fang, a fierce pain flows through them.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Murphy: Since it is your game and you have no doubt set the rules in your favor then I choose not to play.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: Please stop torturing us. Give the CSO the proper size of teeth. And what do we need to do to complete this task?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: After a moment shrugs and shifts into mist.::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CEO: You have no choice my deary. ::She smiles and turns her gaze toward the CSO:: CO: She doubted my abilities. She must be punished. ::She begins to shriek again::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Ma'am I think the CEO has the right idea on this one. ::howls again::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: Anything you can do to help the CSO?

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Murphy: On the contrary, I choose not to play.  I quit.  ::Drops the staff he is carrying and sits down on the ground::

ACTION: Murphy snaps her fingers and the Counselor finds that her mouth has been magically sewn shut.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::glares at Murphy::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::looks at her crew, all in pain or not wanting to play. She doesn't want to play anymore but doesn't seem to have a choice::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
All: Now... tis time for you to listen to the rules of my game! If you succeed... you will be sent back to your ship unharmed!

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: Finally, you are actually going to tell us something! Let's get this over with. Child's play.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Curiously 'seeps' along the floor towards Murphy::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
::She flies over the crew on her lovely broomstick, watching them very closely with a large grin on her face:: CO: Child's play is the name of the game! ALL: You will each face one foe... your team against my own. If you win, then you shall be set free! If you lose... well then you lose.

ACTION: Murphy waves her hand and the mist begins to solidify into a blob of ice.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Doubting if Murphy would actually give him the power to undo her magic but tries to free the CNS and the CSO with spells::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Wonders what exactly it is they would loose...::

ACTION: The CEO succeeds in freeing the Counselor's mouth, however, does not succeed in helping the Chief Science Officer.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Thinks warm and light thoughts::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: Let's try to win, then. It seems we have no choice... for now.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: Good job on freeing the CNS.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Ma'am it is up to you. The game is surely going to be rigged in Murphy's favor, but I can't see another alternative.

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
ALL: Then we shall begin! ::She begins to shriek again and flies rather high into the air::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Looks at what he did for the CNS:: Self: A Q would not have allowed me to do that.  There is a flaw here that I might be able to exploit.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::nods at the CNS::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::cringes again:: All: I'd give real money if she'd shut up.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: It is not fair game if you don't free our CSO. You wouldn't want to be known as an unfair player, right?

ACTION: The Wicked Witch of the East, Elizabeth Murphy, waves her hand and the crew of the Sharikahr feel themselves undergo a rapid transport. Without warning, they appear on a flying platform thousands of feet above Faritopia. The crew are all back to their normal magical states... and Murphy can be seen hovering in the air.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::tries not to look down::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
ALL: Welcome to the Arena of Doom!

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::looks at her new settings:: ALL: Get ready for anything and... everything.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Feels like she is part of a balancing act.::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
ALL: The time has come for you to face my horrible team! The clock starts... NOW! ::She disappears and everything is quiet::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Gets up and grabs his staff hefting it like a lirpa::

ACTION: A group of flying monkeys appears all around the platform. Their dragon like wings and deep red bodies seem to glow in the intense sunlight. They all begin to scream and shout loudly.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CO: To what level do we take this?

Flying monkeys leader says:
::starts flying fast all around the platform, with something bright growing between his and his companions' hands:: ALL:: SCRREETTTTCCCHHHHHHHHH

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::unsheaths her claws::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::utters a screaming howl::

ACTION: One of the monkeys burp, which causes a powerful wave of thunder spiraling toward the crew. It knocks them off of their feet instantly.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::shakes a bit and tries to use her powerful arms to beat a monkey as they pass near her::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::rolls very close to the platform edge::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Stills, then slowly blinks her eyes as she realizes she stands unharmed.::

Host Monkey Warrior says:
::He makes his way for the fairy, his teeth out and ready for an afternoon meal::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: With a smile, launches toward one of the monkeys and in a sultry voice::  Hello dinner...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Regains his footing and looks around then casts a binding spell at a group of monkeys::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::gets and tries to get a hold on the leg of the monkey close to her trying to pull him down::

Flying monkeys leader says:
::flies down and throws one of the lighting bolts that are growing in his hands at the CEO::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: We need to use our powers against them. Let's work together and get them going asap.

ACTION: Stidd's binding spell works on a group of monkeys, but he is hit by the lightning bolt from the leader. The CNS succeeds in pulling down her foe.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Takes the monkey literally in hand and quickly drains him, dropping him towards the ground.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::uses a very sharp claw to rip out his throat::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::tries to grab a monkey to beat him down::

Flying monkeys leader says:
::another monkey tries to attack the Vampire while she is distracted jumping on her back::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Reaches for another, only to find one on her back.  Reaches behind her for the head.  Then with a sudden twist, snaps his neck.::

ACTION: As the crew take down the monkey enemies, the Flying Monkey Leader begins to grow to the size of a Five Story building.

Flying monkeys leader says:
::starts bellowing in fury and beats his wings on the platform to create a storm down there::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Is knocked to the ground and he quickly gets up shaking off the shock that it caused him::

ACTION: The wind begins to form a spiral like structure that begins to suck in the crew of the Sharikahr. They cannot hold their footing and find themselves circling around within the wind.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::knocks out a monkey::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::crawls through the wind to get around his back side and take out an Achilles tendon with a claw::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Reaches for the monkey leader to hang onto.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::feels her small dwarf body move up in the spiral wind::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Takes flight and tries to become the mosquito to the monkey leader so the rest of the crew can attack and do the real damage::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::misses and is pulled into the storm::

Flying monkeys leader says:
::notices the CNS and throws a small lighting ball at her to keep her at distance:: CNS: UHUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Casts a lightening bolt spell at him to get him to break the wind::

ACTION: All of the other monkeys make their way into their leader, which causes him to grow to an even greater size.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain, I believe your ruby slippers would be apropos about now.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO: I would need ruby slippers to start with.

ACTION: The lightning bolt from the fairy Chief Engineer causes the wind pressure to decrease only slightly. The crew is still caught within the horrible gust of wind.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: So wish for them, it worked before.

ACTION: At that very moment, lime green jeweled slippers appear on the Captain.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Begins running the calculations to surf up the wind and attack the giant monkey::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::notices the slippers::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO: They are green, not sure they'll have the same effect.

Flying monkeys leader says:
::decides he wants to taste these puny little creatures and sweeps one arm down trying to capture the CO::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CO: Only one way to find out...

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Can't hurt to try

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: Continue working on a spell. It seems to be slowly working.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::tries to punch the Monkey Leader::

ACTION: The Monkey Leader succeeds in grabbing the Captain. He takes her and then tosses her into his mouth.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Catching the movement::  CO: Captain!

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: Should I try the slip..... eeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssssss ::as she is tossed into the leader's mouth::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::springs onto the Monkey leader, using her claws to try to climb him like a tree::

Flying monkeys leader says:
::thinks that the dwarf tastes like chicken and spits it out::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Finishes his calculations and starts surfing the wind into an attack posture then casts another binding spell at the giant monkey::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Yells as she tries to latch onto the creature::  CO: Try it... and try to stay out of the stomach... you could make your way out otherwise.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::hears the CSO and knocks her slippers together wishing that they were all back on the Shari as they were before all this started::

ACTION: The CEO's binding spell hits the monkey leader directly. He begins to shrink rather slowly.

Flying monkeys leader says:
::bellows in pain feeling his bones shrinks and feels rage growing::

ACTION: The Captain's lime green jeweled slippers begin to glow intensely. The crew find themselves glowing in that exact same color.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Sees the shrinking and begins launching one after another as fast as he can at the shrinking monkey::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::looks at her paws glowing green::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Catching the glow from the others, looks down at herself.::

Flying monkeys leader says:
::looks with rage and hate at the CEO and throws another bolt at him::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Dodges the bolt and continues to cast binding at the monkey leader::

ACTION: The monkey begins to shriek in pain, but he does not weaken. The monkey's lightning bolt hits the CEO, but it is deflected somehow. In addition to this, three more pairs of magic slippers appear. One ruby colored, another bright blue, and the final pair a beautiful shade of pink.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: Try your slippers too! Maybe that's the way...

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Reaches for the blue slippers and slips them on.::

ACTION: The Fairy Princess Blu appears with a group of warriors. They begin to attack the monkey leader with their magical spears and spells.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::lets go of the Monkey Leader and maneuvers her back legs into the ruby slippers::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Seeing the cavalry arrive, moves toward the captain to help her up.::

Flying monkeys leader says:
::tries to evade the warriors and their terrible magic::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::clicks her shoes and wishes the same wish as the CO::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Grabs the pink slippers and puts them on, feeling them size themselves perfectly to his feet::

Host Blu says:
::She makes her way down toward the Sharikahr's crew:: All: You must use these magical slippers to return to your home. Please hurry post haste. ::She smiles::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look over at Blu:: Blu:  You would have us leave you with this mess?

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Thank you for your help.

Host Blu says:
CSO: We can easily stop this overgrown primate. Please.. go. ::With that said she flies up toward the monkey and sends a stream of golden energy at it::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Looks to the captain::

Flying monkeys leader says:
::covers his eyes and shrieks in pain::

ACTION: The Monkey Leader and Fairies begin to fly high into the air. After a few seconds, they are no longer seen by the crew.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Looks at the CO::  CO: Didn’t Murphy say we would each have to face a foe?  I think I am beginning to understand this.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look at the engineer, curious::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CEO: What is your theory?

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: yes she did. But maybe she didn't plan Blu... unless she did?

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CNS/CO: I believe that these slippers will not get us back to the ship but rather on to the next battle.  Our next foe if you will.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Looks down at the shoes perfectly fit to her feet.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Well either way we have to chance it. We have to get home.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: This could be it. No matter, we will need to use them as they will either get us to our next battle or home.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::nods:: ALL: So lets have a slippers party then!

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Shall we all go on three?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Looks off around her, not really tempted to leave.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::nods:: ALL: 1.... 2.... 3!

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Taps the slippers together and thinks about the Sharikahr::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::clicks her heel and wishes to get back home to the Shari::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: The officer and duty take a lead over her desire and she taps her shoes.  But she does not wish to return as she was, but as she is.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::clicks her heels and wishes to be back on the Shari::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::adds the additional wish to be human again::

ACTION: As the crew click their heels together, they each begin to glow in a brilliant array of colors. They each begin to feel a warm, tingling feeling move through their bodies as their magical additions begin to leave them. A few seconds pass and the crew find themselves on the Bridge of the Sharikahr. However, everything seems to be motionless.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::feels her body change back in a human::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::sighs happily as she feels herself return to human::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: As the changes slip from her, a sense of depression seems to take hold.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: We seem back... but something still ain't right.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Realizes that he is again a Vulcan and feels relief though he shows nothing::

Host Sha says:
::Sha makes his way onto the Bridge with a confused look on his face::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Turns toward Shá, once again on the bridge::  Shá: Is everything alright?

Host Sha says:
CSO: I do not know. No one has moved for several hours. Even the planet below seems to have stopped...

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: Could Murphy put everything in stasis while we were down there?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Kneels down to him::  Shá: Did something unusual happen before everything froze?

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: And shouldn't it be back now that we are?

Host Sha says:
CSO: You were turned into dolls... ::He blinks at his own comment several times:: CSO:.. and then this.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Indeed.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
Shá: Where are the dolls you said were in our quarters?

Host Sha says:
CSO: They are gone. ::He pulls out one looking like the CEO:: CSO: Except for this one.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::thinks of how they could have the ship go out of stasis::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Takes the doll and standing, turns to look at Stidd::  CO: Captain...

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::takes the doll and notices the glowing jewel:: CEO: I'll try not to break you in case it's a voodoo doll.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::presses the small glowing jewel::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Notes the doll and approaches the CSO::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow, wondering if the captain is actually serious.::

ACTION: As the Captain places pressure on the jewel, Stidd's Combadge begins to crack. Adrel's pressure breaks the jewel, causing a wave of red energy to leave the ship abruptly. The Sharikahr's systems immediately power up and the ship moves to Red Alert.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: What just happened here? Did that work?

Host Sha says:
<Computer> ALL: Warning. Auto Destruct Sequence armed.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CO: So it would seem... but as for what happened... :: moves up to her station.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: To your stations!

Host Sha says:
<Computer> ALL: Auto Destruct Sequence in 50 seconds.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::moves quickly to the CNS's chair on the Bridge::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Computer: Turn Auto Destruct off. Authorization, Adrel Beta 2 Tango 5.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Moves directly to Engineering station 1 and activates it::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::hopes her command codes work::

Host Computer says:
CO: Authorization accepted. Further authorization required.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Wonders how many times the computer was going to initiate auto destruct on this ship.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Looks to the CO:: CO: The closest thing we have at present to an XO is the Counselor

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
Computer: Confirm authorization for turning self destruct off. Authorization Rodos Charlie 2 Tau 6

Host Computer says:
ALL: Auto Destruct Sequence Disarmed.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::sighs:: ALL: We made it. Good work ::as she drops in her chair::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain... according to the ship records, no time has passed since your arrival... anywhere.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CO: By the way, Ma'am, welcome aboard.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::breathes and sits down::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO: Then I guess we will need to be reintroduced!

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Turns away and lightly runs her tongue along her teeth::
